Message From The President

Dear Alcuinites,

Congratulations on making it into York, it’s a fantastic place to live and learn so you’ve made a great decision there. What sets us apart from a lot of the other universities who would have been lucky to have you is our collegiate system, and on that note – Welcome to Alcuin. Alcuin isn’t just a block and a room number, it’s not an address line or a postal address – it’s a home and a community and a wonderful thing to be part of. You have academic supervisors and course leaders and a whole team of people employed by the university to look after you academically, and a wealth of systems to support you – we are one.

​The CSAC and I volunteer our time, effort (and sometimes piece of mind) to make sure you have the best possible experience over the next 3 or so years. We are responsible for keeping you busy all year round - organizing fun events, encouraging you to get involved with college sport, promoting a wealth of charitable and volunteering opportunities, and providing really cool merch so you can show off your college pride (and so you should).

So I hope you have a fantastic year, get involved, and enjoy being part of the #RedArmy

Demi Morrison-Bassios (President)
